I quite regularly write about China but only rarely do those posts receive more than a handful of views, either on the blog here or on my VKontacte social media site at vk.com/bernie.edwards, whereas other posts (on VK at least) can attract up to several hundred views. What is it about China that seems to... Continue Reading →
Piggy Pompeo Presiding?
"China to respond to US provocations in next 10 days: Global Times editorial" - Global Times Strong words just came from China in response to US provocation from the unworthy lips of US Secretary of State (for next 10 days), Mike 'Piggy' Pompeo. Let me echo some of them: "...China's rapidly growing power is in... Continue Reading →
The Insurrection Wars, Begun They Have
"Insurrection Versus Insurrection" - Kunstler Jim Kunstler, thankfully, continues his line on the current political and social dilemma facing America and, unless and until he goes off all "cockamamie" (that's a quote), I will continue to post his views in full here. Thank goodness there is at least some level-headed public commentary still available from... Continue Reading →
Of Hearts and Heads
A cry from the human heart. "A Coup in the Corporate Head" - Tessa Lena, from Tessa Fights Robots ...and while I... No. I am going to hold back from making my frequently used personal disclaimer.

You poor things. If all you have to counter your new... Continue Reading →
A Glimpse of the Possible

And one which contrasts brilliantly with the end-time sunset dramas going on in the West. 'Foreigners see China's victory against poverty on trip' - People's Daily Online - English Michael Chick, Shaun... Continue Reading →
Kunstler: Fog and Noise
You think I wouldn't feature Kunstler after what happened this week, or that I would keep my own head down? You would be wrong. Trump may be down, but not necessarily out. Does he have a plan? Does it involve the military or sections of the military? It's all, as Kunstler says, "Fog and Noise"... Continue Reading →
Aftermath
150 million Americans have been illegally disenfranchised. What happens next? Donald Trump has gone. But Donald Trump never really mattered. He was merely the figurehead for an idea. An idea that suited half of all Americans just fine. And without commenting on the actual idea, and while some form of election cheating may have occurred... Continue Reading →
Assessing Syria Situation
People of the West, who are little interested in what goes on in Syria, would have no idea what the US is doing there. As far as they are concerned, the US is fighting to eliminate ISIS terrorism. Nothing could be further from the truth. Some aspects of the truth of the matter are raised... Continue Reading →
